This is the viral video of Governor Sanwo-Olu at the lavish birthday bash of Aisha Achimugu, on the Caribbean Island of Grenada. She claims to be a multifaceted businesswoman.

Her troubles started after her birthday bash. The FIRS ordered her to file her tax returns. Then the EFCC case followed.✍️

If a side chic to a governor has access to N4.6 billion in jewelry, $50k cash and 11 exotic cars, can imagine how much these politicians and their children have stolen from this country fr.

Celebrating a Great Mind, Prof. Barth Nnaji, at 70 and Congratulating a Young Intellectual, Prof. Chimaeze Adi, on His Inspiring Inaugural Lecture

Today, in Enugu, I joined other Nigerians of goodwill in celebrating a great mind—an accomplished scientist, innovator, and one of the pioneers of the E-Design concept—Prof. Barth Nnaji, as he marked his 70th birthday.

The tributes paid to Prof. Nnaji by friends, associates, and admirers reflected the profound impact he has made in engineering, academia, public service, and the power sector.

The occasion also brought back fond memories of my interactions with Prof. Nnaji, especially during my tenure as Chairman of the South-East Governors’ Forum. We worked closely together on the ambitious initiative to assume greater responsibility for power in the South-East, driven by our shared conviction that reliable electricity remains one of the strongest foundations for economic growth, industrialisation, and job creation. His depth of knowledge, clarity of vision, and practical approach left a lasting impression on all of us.

May Prof. Nnaji’s light continue to shine ever more brightly.

From Enugu, I travelled to Lagos to attend the inspiring 23rd Inaugural Lecture, “The End of Development Economics,” delivered by one of our country’s promising young intellectuals, Prof. Alpheus Bongo Chimaeze Adi of Pan-Atlantic University. The lecture addressed many important issues relating to economics and development.

I first met Prof. Adi during my 2022 presidential campaign. Even then, he distinguished himself as one of our outstanding young intellectuals, demonstrating a profound understanding of economics and development issues.

It was a fitting celebration of two remarkable minds from different generations, whose lives have been defined by excellence, innovation, patriotism, and commitment to Nigeria’s development. -PO

In a system that values blind loyalty over brilliance, mediocrity doesn't just survive—it gets appointed. Watching the highly competent get sidelined while the average take the wheel is genuinely exhausting. We deserve better

How can u announce subsidy gone gone and nnpc still paid 7.1 trillion in subsidy and u still claim that subsidy was removed because it of no budgetary provision

[oseni rufai @ruffydfire]

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) paid N4.8 trillion for fuel subsidies in 2023 and N7.1 trillion in 2024. [1]
The total combined subsidy bill incurred across the two years reached N11.9 trillion. This massive jump represents a 47.9% increase in costs from 2023 to 2024, despite the official policy shift intended to end the program.

Roadmap to a New Nigeria That Is Possible – Part II

Education and Healthcare: The Foundation of a Renewed Nigeria

Recall that on July 1st, in Part 1 of "My Vision for a Productive and Prosperous Nigeria," I outlined the broad framework of my proposed roadmap for national renewal. In it, I emphasised that the transformation of Nigeria must begin with rebuilding our human capital through quality education and healthcare, supported by reforms in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), character and civic education, and strategic investments that will move our nation from a consumption-driven economy to a production-driven one. I promised to follow up with other parts in the coming weeks and months.

Today, July 16th, in the middle of July, I wish to expand on these two critical pillars - education and healthcare - because they are the bedrock upon which every prosperous nation is built. They are the cornerstones of the foundation that will ensure that a son of nobody can become somebody and remove many from the ranks of the disaffected who often become tools in the insecurity challenges confronting us.

Evidence from around the world shows that quality education and accessible healthcare are among the clearest distinctions between thriving nations and lagging ones. Princeton University Nobel Prize-winning economist Angus Deaton highlights this reality in his book, “The Great Escape: Health, Wealth, and the Origins of Inequality.”

Nothing, therefore, could be further from the truth than the claim by some young people that “education is a scam.” Education, when combined with good health, provides the ladder for individual upward mobility and drives economic growth for the nation.

We must become more intentional about aligning education with our national priorities, as Singapore did, and challenge our country to value education in the same way Deng Xiaoping repeatedly urged China to do from 1978 onwards, with the remarkable transformation we see today.

We will work through commissions that strengthen collaboration among the tiers of government, ensuring that primary education is domiciled at the community and local government levels, with strong parental involvement and curricula that are sensitive to local economic factor endowments and the value chains derived from them.

State governments will be supported to expand high-quality Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), as well as general secondary education, through targeted grants and incentives.

We are also developing schemes that will enable universities to focus more deliberately on specialised areas of teaching and research, making them globally competitive while producing a workforce equipped for the demands of the future.

A NEW Nigeria is POssible. -PO

The Delta State Police Command has arrested a popular content creator, one Ifeanyi Ogbonna, male, aged 40, also populary known as “Odogwu of Asaba,” in connection with the alleged rape of a 20-year-old girl. The suspect invited the victim to asaba in the guise of teaching her content creation, lured her to his hotel room, allegedly tortured and řápêd her. The deceased who could not withstand the truma, made a video of her encounter, then took insecticide, she eventually died while receiving treatment.

Again, I’ll say this: among all the presidential candidates likely to contest the 2027 general elections, none currently possesses the level of international standing, credibility, and acceptability that Peter Obi does.

He is not someone who goes around lobbying for international recognition. Rather, he is consistently invited to engage in conversations about the challenges facing Africa, to share his perspectives, and to speak about his vision for building a Nigeria that works.

At a time when Nigeria’s global image has been severely damaged, we need leadership that commands respect beyond our borders. We need someone who can restore confidence in our country and strengthen Nigeria’s economic, diplomatic, and social relationships with the rest of Africa and the wider international community.
